nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

2016-10-08T01:46:30Z

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN". We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new .cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted PC to see if it lies within that section. This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in the minimal framework for other architectures.

arm: jump label may reference text in __exit

2016-08-04T12:50:07Z

The jump table can reference text found in an __exit section. Thus, instead of discarding it at build time, include EXIT_TEXT as part of __init and it will be released when the system boots.

ARM: 8583/1: mm: fix location of _etext

2016-07-02T10:01:30Z

The _etext position is defined to be the end of the kernel text code, and should not include any part of the data segments. This interferes with things that might check memory ranges and expect executable code up to _etext. Just to be conservative, leave the kernel resource as it was, using __init_begin instead of _etext as the end mark. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Russell King

arch, ftrace: for KASAN put hard/soft IRQ entries into separate sections

2016-03-25T23:37:42Z

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler. This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the number of unique stack traces needed to be stored. Move the definition of __irq_entry to so that the users don't need to pull in . Also introduce the __softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

ARM: KVM: Move the HYP code to its own section

2016-02-29T18:34:12Z

In order to be able to spread the HYP code into multiple compilation units, adopt a layout similar to that of arm64: - the HYP text is emited in its own section (.hyp.text) - two linker generated symbols are use to identify the boundaries of that section No functionnal change.

When rodata is large enough that it crosses a section boundary after the kernel text, mark the rest NX.

ARM: 8515/2: move .vectors and .stubs sections back into the kernel VMA

2016-02-11T15:33:39Z

Commit b9b32bf70f2f ("ARM: use linker magic for vectors and vector stubs") updated the linker script to emit the .vectors and .stubs sections into a VMA range that is zero based and disjoint from the normal static kernel region. The reason for that was that this way, the sections can be placed exactly 4 KB apart, while the payload of the .vectors section is only 32 bytes. Since the symbols that are part of the .stubs section are emitted into the kallsyms table, they appear with zero based addresses as well, e.g., 00001004 t vector_rst 00001020 t vector_irq 000010a0 t vector_dabt 00001120 t vector_pabt 000011a0 t vector_und 00001220 t vector_addrexcptn 00001240 t vector_fiq 00001240 T vector_fiq_offset As this confuses perf when it accesses the kallsyms tables, commit 7122c3e9154b ("scripts/link-vmlinux.sh: only filter kernel symbols for arm") implemented a somewhat ugly special case for ARM, where the value of CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET is passed to scripts/kallsyms, and symbols whose addresses are below it are filtered out. Note that this special case only applies to CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL=n, not because the issue the patch addresses exists only in that case, but because finding a limit below which to apply the filtering is not entirely straightforward. Since the .vectors and .stubs sections contain position independent code that is never executed in place, we can emit it at its most likely runtime VMA (for more recent CPUs), which is 0xffff0000 for the vector table and 0xffff1000 for the stubs. Not only does this fix the perf issue with kallsyms, allowing us to drop the special case in scripts/kallsyms entirely, it also gives debuggers a more realistic view of the address space, and setting breakpoints or single stepping through code in the vector table or the stubs is more likely to work as expected on CPUs that use a high vector address.

ARM: 8513/1: xip: Move XIP linking to a separate file

2016-02-11T15:33:39Z

When building an XIP kernel, the linker script needs to be much different than a conventional kernel's script. Over time, it's been difficult to maintain both XIP and non-XIP layouts in one linker script. Therefore, this patch separates the two procedures into two completely different files. The new linker script is essentially a straight copy of the current script with all the non-CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL portions removed. Additionally, all CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL portions have been removed from the existing linker script...never to return again. It should be noted that this does not fix any current XIP issues, but rather is the first move in fixing them properly with subsequent patches.
